Muhammad Ali:The Greatest

This documentary tells part of the life and career of a great American boxer. On the day after his greatest victory, he provokes America by stating he is a Black Muslim and is changing his name from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali. His boxing license is suspended when he refuses to take part in the Vietnam war. It is not until 1974 that he makes the front pages again, after regaining the title of world heavyweight champion.
